In this episode, host Brandon Ashplant talks to The Fund Foundry team, Rebecca Booth, Justin Sykes and Dirk Bischof. The first programme of its kind in the Crown Dependencies, offering support to first-time and emerging fund managers across every asset class, The Fund Foundry will select five managers each year from a competitive global shortlist and give each a £25,000 service voucher redeemable against legal costs, fund administration and audit in year one. Succesful applicants will also have be paired with a mentor from an established fund manager. Dirk, Justin, and Rebecca discuss how the program is helping first-time fund managers turn a strong thesis into a viable launch, and why Guernsey’s reputation, regulatory framework, and investor trust make it a jurisdiction of choice for sustainable finance, impact, and climate-focused first-time funds.
